(NEWSER) – No stowaway miracles this time: The body of an adolescent black male was found hidden in the wheel well of a C-130 US Air Force jet that landed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, reports Stars and Stripes. It's not clear who the boy is or where he snuck onto the plane, but one US official says the best guess is that he got on in either Mali or Chad, reports NBC News. Wherever it was, the youth evaded a routine pre-flight check but was discovered in a more thorough safety check that occurred at the end of the plane's eight-day mission.
